Old Allis Chalmers WD with Bucket - What's it worth?

My dad has an old, Allis Chalmers WD with a bucket. He"d like to sell it and I"m trying to help him determine what the price should be. We had one guy tell us roughly $4,000. Another thinks that"s too high. It runs and has rear tires that are just about 4 years old. I used it to pull out about 200 fence posts in June 2013.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Depends a bit on where you are. I would try it for $2,000 but not expect it to sell fast at that price. $1200-1500 would probably get you a faster sale.

It would matter if it was an early or late WD with curved shifter, condition of engine (WD45 sleeves and pistons?) and especially the transmission and hand clutch. Those older AC's like to pop out of gear.
 
How in the world does that loader work? Would be awesome for snow. Anywho, I'd say $2,000 asking, take $1,500. If it's a true WD (serial number would help us a lot, it's on the left rear brake housing), the tractor alone is worth maybe a grand. WD45 or known WD45 parts (tranny, crank, etc) would be maybe $1,200 for the tractor alone. How do the rims look? They had a bad habit of rusting around the stems.

Don't know much about the Allis, but the loader is a Templeton Loader. Spelling might be wrong. The cylinders are a single action type.
 
I don't know who built that bucket but I've seen them on several different brands of loaders - including a Ford one armed bandit that I had for a couple of years.
Trip bucket - worked great for snow and I used it to catch the shingles when I tore off and reroofed my house.

Many things come into play. Location being one. I have seen a WD/WD45 with out loader go for as little as $500 running or as high as $2500. That is with out a loader. I own a WD45 we payed $750 for and it runs well.
 
Last WD I bought for $1500, including a nice Paulson loader plus an 80S pitmanless mower. Needed a carb kit. I"ve never seen a loader like the one pictured. Strikes me as being very clumsy.
 
Loader is definitely a Templeton. Neighbor had one on a Farmall H and it worked fine. Easy to put on and take off. Of course no live hydraulics and a trip bucket were limitations, but the loader was good, no problems.
 

Looks good, has a Distributor, NICE tires, good Loader with a great bucket..

I think you could ask 2,250 and Deal a little..

Thanks, Ron. We're pretty easy and will probably give someone a good deal when the time comes. Need this snow to melt so we can get it out of the shed and shine it up a bit. Thanks again.
 
I would say the $1000 to at best $1500 is about right. Typically a WD45 is more sought after than a WD. Yes, some guys think that because there are fewer orange ones than green or red that they should be worth a bunch, but it seems to me that orange isn"t sought after quite as much so that tends to drive the prices downward.

Now before you orange guys decide to beat me up, I just finished restoring a WD45 last summer and have had alot of fun with that tractor. I started in green but have found a new love for the orange.
 

Well, don't be "Too Easy"..they don't make them anymore and a GOOD one, with GOOD tires is getting pretty hard to find..
My WD-45 came off my Grandad's 64 acre family farm and never saw a great deal of heavy work.
It is not going anywhere and then, not for cheap..!
